FROM DOWNSIZE DC - AND REMEMBER, TOLL FREE TO CONGRESS IS 866-220-0044

This is the official email newsletter of

Educate the Powerful System.

I support amendments to the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy
Act requiring search warrants before federal agents can examine my
emails and other electronic communication.
Apparently, Sen. Grassley wants the opposite. He'd empower two dozen
or more federal agencies to read my email without a warrant.
I do not consent!
Consider, in the Petraeus scandal...
* The FBI may have accessed Paula Broadwell's email accounts without a warrant
* Instead of investigating a crime, the FBI examined private emails HUNTING for a crime
As a result, they brought down one of the most powerful men in Washington. http://wapo.st/XTAoFw
If this can happen to someone as powerful as the head of the CIA, how much greater is the danger of Grassley's amendments to me?Do you want J. Edgar Hoover-style monitoring of YOUR activities?
Grassley claims he's complying with the demands of law enforcement.
But the Fourth Amendment protects my email just as much as it protects
my home. Let me be clear...If law enforcement agents tell you that the Fourth Amendment
keeps them from doing their jobs, they should be fired for their
anti-Constitutional attitude!
PREVENT federal agents from violating the Fourth Amendment.Defeat any privacy-invading amendments.
I'll be watching what you do.
